Cheerful Gratitude.

(A SIMPLE HYMN FOR THE REVIVAL.)

LORD! We thank Thee, that the shining
Of Thy face is not declining;

That the breathing of Thy blessing
Still our heart-strings is caressing:
So to prove Thee,

So to love Thee,

Oh, 'tis heaven on earth possessing!

Still Thy people are reviving,
Sinners still for pardon striving;
Still Thy Spirit keeps in motion,
On the land and on the ocean:
Happy season!

Oh, what reason

Find we now for full devotion !

Father! Spirit! leave us never!

Jesus! help us, now and ever!

Brethren! keep from worldly straying,

Onward march without delaying,

Lift the Banner!

Shout Hosanna!

Upward pressing, praising, praying!
